to save monies I would tell my daughter to go to an auto parts store and let them scan the code, then once the problem is found someone there may be able to put the part on for her or fix whatever problem there may be. Hope this helped Tim

check the fuses , you can have a o2 sensor fuse open, also check the wiring because o2s are close to the cats or manifoldss some time they burn and get shorted.., other thing you can do is unplug the o2s and drive it like that and see if it shuts off , if it doesn't so the problem is around that sensor...hope this help..
